Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

As owner or operator of industrial facilities, successful and effective production depends on equipment that runs smoothly. Equipment has to meet quoted or contractually guaranteed specifications prior to delivery and final installation. Our factory acceptance testing services provide verification that all technical and quality requirements have been met before a component leaves the factory.

As an independent verification and certification company, we support your project or manufacturing process with extensive services along the supply chain. We ensure design specifications and prove the quality of your ordered equipment and components.
